March Challenge CCAYR

Happy Spring!
We are combining spring, Saint Patrick's Day and Christmas in your challenge this month!!
GREEN!! and TWO different green patterned paper!
That's right - make the main color on your card GREEN!

Here are mine!

I made my usual 6 cards.....hey, you have to cut a piece of cardstock in half for 2 cards, so I make 6 instead of 5!

Then found out that they changed the rules over at the site.

I'm a little disappointed!

Making 6 cards a month kept me on track to have my cards done before the big panic in December.

Hopefully I keep this up, and don't get lazy.......

I'd be cranky if I only had 11 cards made by December!

Ah well, it was a great motivator while it lasted!

Talk to ya later!

I see the new challenge is up at Craft A Scene.......

gotta check it out before my friend Sheree gets on my case!

Good morning, or afternoon, or evening......whenever you're reading this!

The O/S is home from his sail!
Sent me an e-mail, he needed bills from the house he owns in town for his income tax!
So I made him this card to go with!

I just let the cardstock do the work, so it might be a little girly.....oh well!

The inside says "Just walking on sunshine"!

I added "It's all good", and told him to have a great day!

The day after I mailed that batch of papers he needed, he texted me, telling me he needed more papers!

I told him to get his S#!& together, and I made him this card!

He's having surgery tomorrow....no, nothing serious!

That's a little more masculine!

I put a real bandaid over the stamped one!

He'll get 2 cards in one week....that will be something of a record!

I was excited to hear he'd be home at the end of March.....

his birthday's April 1st (go ahead, have a laugh!)

Try & tell your friends & family you had a baby on April 1st!

One of my gf's said,"Yea right, April Fools!"

He's the child, who, when he was about 8 or 9, and I asked him what he wanted for a birthday cake; asked , "Why do we have to have birthday cake? Why can't we have Birthday pie!?"

I have made him Lemon Meringue Birthday Pie when he's home, ever since!

Yup, you can put candles in pie!

This is how cold it was Friday morning on my way to work!

I.KNOW!

Here's the beginning of the sunrise the same day!

Yesterday I had a few recipes I wanted to try so my friend P came out to sample them with me!

Ray sometimes forgets where he lives when he's done work, so I dine alone!

We had Mexican Cheddar & Rice...I'd make it again!

Gnocchi & Mushroom sauce.......I'd make it again, and I'd actually even make the Gnocchi!

And I whipped up some fresh buns to go with!

We drank wine, had a few giggles; she likes to see my latest creations!

Better go, gotta post my Cards for CCAYR!

Maybe work on a HM stamp!

Make some muffins for my lunch, and maybe Ray's read the instructions for the log splitter,

cause I sure haven't!

Have a great week people, and thanks for keeping in touch!

Ta ta for now!
